Ex-Green Eagles winger, Adokiye Amiesimaka, says Nigeria‘s chances of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup looks brighter with the 3-1 win over Algeria. Amiesimaka, former team manager, Sharks football club of Port Harcourt, made the assertion on Saturday shortly after the Nigeria/Algeria match played at the Godswill Akpabio stadium, Uyo.

“I watched   the  game and I am very impressed with the outcome. Congratulations Super Eagles, congratulations Nigeria. The Algerians were not bad. They played in a rather tentative manner in the first 15 minutes, but we were on top of the game most of the time and the score line was reflective of that,” he said.

Amiesimaka said the Eagles attack was good while the defence needed to be worked on for future matches. “I suggest that Gernot Rohr, Super Eagles Manager, still needs to work on the defence.

The attack is okay; they were coordinated and did a good job. Our chances of qualifying for the next World Cup are very bright indeed,” the ex-international said.
